2022-23 Pick'Em, Final Week! (Double-Points!!!)

[dukedevilz]

Congrats to @mikeinknoxville, @jhmossy, and @Demarcus Kidd-Miller on winning Week 19. Mossy got all 6 Pick'Em correct - and mike and DKM both received bonus points. @WeAreDePaul is back on top of the leaderboard again.

And here we are. One week left. 6 games. Double Points. I think Mike and DKM might have an outside shot of stealing this. So, possibly 6 contenders? This should be a fun one. Title will likely come down to the final game between Miami and Houston.

Crazy that I went 6/6 last week. I think I just picked the opposite of my bracket.

12: Tennessee
10: Houston
8: Texas
6: UConn
4: Kansas State
2: UCLA

Kind of felt like Memphis got jewed out of this call. I know it was close. But, if you're trying to be precise, Memphis should have been awarded the ball with 5 seconds left. Hardaway had the ball and Lomax called a timeout. I lost 5 points from that officiating error.

My brother was dating a Jewish girl back when he was playing for Navy. After a game against Notre Dame he was peeved with the officiating and told his girlfriend and her family, during a meal, that "We got totally jewed." Well, he didn't even know that she was Jewish (and the whole family). How awkward that must have been. Still makes me laugh... just wish I could have seen their faces.

I stole that expression from him. Just seems fun to do it front of Jewish folks.

Yep. Bastard refs cost me $ and the lead in Pick Em. 😖

You and I both had Memphis at 5, so you still would have been behind me. But, an unfortunate error, for sure.

[Kevin Bryan]

wow, already a case of people not giving respect to the best freshman in the country not on his way to jail.

@Kevin Bryan and @dukedevilz , y'all about to get Mahaney'd right out of the points this weekend.

Now I realize what you meant about getting "Mahaney'd"

He went off for 0 points, 0 rebounds, 2 assists, and 4 fouls.

yea not exactly his best game. He was so bad that after he picked up that 4th foul 3 minutes into the 2nd half the coach sat him down and never bothered to bring him back in the game. Somehow they still won.

He was pretty crappy vs UCONN too, but at least he hit 4 shots in that game.

Not possible. It’s clearly rigged. Notice how devilz is suddenly within a few pts of the lead after being middle of the pack like two weeks ago? He probably realized years ago that nobody double checks his work. 😁

House game. Someone should start from the beginning and double-check all the numbers over the years.

If I dont win a multitude of crimes have been committed

I have my receptionist go over my books before we send them to the accountant. I'm going to have her start working on this later this afternoon.

Your receptionist is welcome to use this file, if it helps lol.

gonna need that in much bigger font, she's in her 70s.

In her 70s? Wow. Your wife definitely hand-picked the receptionist. Smart move on her part. Can't trust those young, single women.

having an office in the suburbs I can literally count on 3 fingers the number of times a hot chick has been in our office.

Hah yeah. That makes sense, actually. The 304 lifestyle ain't as prevalent in the burbs.

That was my first thought too.😆

I don’t want to get your hopes up, but I think at this point the only way @dukedevilz can beat me is if he hits the trifecta of Tennessee winning + Texas losing + Houston losing.

 

[WeAreDePaul]

I think the only person who can catch me now is @rockycard and he needs both Houston and Texas to lose tonight to do it.

Your math was off on the previous post. Had Tennessee won, all I would have needed to win was Miami beating Houston (score would have been 36-32, and I would have won by 1).

I bet against FAU twice, and I lost both times. That cost me 17 points lol - and it cost me any realistic shot at three-peating. Congrats on the probable win.

At least I got to see two amazing games last night in K-State/MSU and Gonzaga/UCLA. Fantastic Sweet 16 games.
